history

Halsbrücke new building, manor, mansion 2015

The island property in the loan book of Margrave Friedrich III. Vorwerk and later Kanzleilehngut "zcu dem Halse ", first designated by Meißen in 1349, was located on the southern "neck-shaped" back of the large hollow loop northwest of the village. The "Hals" estate originally belonged to the Altzella monastery , and since the 16th century it has belonged to the city of Freiberg.

In the later place names czu der brucken am Hals (1441), an der Halßbrücken (1654), Halßbrücke (1706) the former Muldenbrücke above the current road bridge is included. Around 1791, Halsbrücke was referred to as a mountain spot. The new construction of the Vorwerk , built around 1600 in the area of ​​the Hals manor , was inherited , which was originally called Pudewitzsches Vorwerk .

The former district of Sand (1778 aufn Sande , 1796/1804 the village of Sand ) on the other bank of the Freiberg Mulde was built at the end of the 17th century on the Erlerschen Gut , which belonged to the Krummenhennersdorf manor . The small settlement Grüneburg belonged to Sand .

The Freiberg Mulde formed the border between two sovereign administrative districts in the area from Halsbrücke until the 19th century. Halsbrücke and the outlying works of Hals and Neubau on the left bank of the Freiberg Mulde were located in the Freiberg district office of the Electorate of Saxony and the royal Saxon district until 1856 . Sand and Grüneburg on the right bank of the Freiberger Mulde, on the other hand, belonged to the Meißen district office until 1836 , only then were they also attached to the Freiberg district office. In 1856, Halsbrücke and Sand came to the Freiberg judicial office and, after the judiciary and administration were separated, in 1875 to the Freiberg district administration . In 1933, Sand was incorporated into Halsbrücke.

Halsbrücke did not have its own church. The place was parish to Tuttendorf. The church of St. Lorenz am Schulberg in Halsbrücke was built from 1985 to 1991 and consecrated in 1992. From 1890 to 1975, Halsbrücke was the terminus of the Freiberg – Halsbrücke branch line .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Halsbrücke became part of the Freiberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Freiberg from 1990 and was added to the district of Central Saxony in 2008.

Mining and smelting

The for Freiberger Revier scoring mining and smelting are closely linked to the history of neck bridge. The first mention of a pit was in 1519 St. Lazarus near the neck house . In 1612, the St. Lorenz and Rheinischer Wein mines opened their own trade union works, from which the Halsbrück smelter emerged in 1663 . The south wing of the electoral amalgamation plant , which was newly built after a fire from 1792 to 1794, is still there.

Wilhelm August Lampadius built the first European light gas facility in the Halsbrücke smelter in 1815 . A lead factory was established in 1853, a gold refinery in 1862 and a sulfuric acid factory in 1865. For the planning to relocate the Dresden Mint , the Halsbrücker Hütten was proposed as a new location towards the end of the 19th century. The hut management pointed out that "a second grinding mill had recently been bought by the state, which had sufficient hydropower and Halsbrücke offers everything that both places (powder mill in Dresden-Löbtau and Muldenhütten ) can barely offer together." The government decided however, opted for the planned Muldenhütten mint .

The Halsbrücker Esse , built in 1888/98, with a smoke duct to discharge the smoke gases from the Halsbrücker smelting works, known as the “Hohe Esse” of Halsbrücke's landmark, was once the highest chimney in the world.

In 1709 the union "Halsbrücker Vereinigt Feld" was created by merging the main mines (closed in 1746). In 1861, the “re-attack of the underground works on the Halsbrücker Spat” began with the Erbstolln mine, which delivered 7171 kg of silver from 1874 to its closure in 1900. It was put back into operation in 1935. The last use was in 1968.

The slag dump "Hohe Esse", also known as the cable car dump, was built in 1917 because the valley of the Mulde was no longer sufficient to transport the slag from the lead smelter in Halsbrück. Up to 285,000 tons of lead slag are stored here.

The 8th light hole of the Rothschönberger Stolln with a drifthouse for a steam conveyor system, built in 1872, and the Kaue of the Stolln from 1865 are located to the west on the hollow slope. The greenhouse was completely rebuilt in 1990. The chew of the 8th light hole is still original. The 7th light hole of the tunnel is about 800 m west of it. The plant was in operation from 1844 to 1876. The above-ground facilities of the 7th light hole are the mining forge and the powder house built in 1844, the greenhouse built in 1850 as well as parts of the ditch and partially exposed wheelhouses.

The Rothschönberger Stolln, built from 1844 to 1877, with its branches over 50 km long, was the most important water management work of Freiberg mining for the drainage of mine water.

The Rote Graben , built around 1613, is the most famous artificial moat . It served to supply impact water for the operation of the hut , the laundry and the art and sweeping wheels . The washing of the Oberes Neues Geschrei pit, with wheel chamber and exposed artificial moat, was built around 1840.

In 1788, Johann Friedrich Mende built a boat lift to lift ore barges along the Churprinzer Bergwerkskanal , which is believed to be the oldest ship lift in the world. The boat lift house was closed in 1868.

In 1945 the VEB Bleihütte and in 1961 the VEB Bergbau und Hüttenkombinat "Albert Funk" were founded, from which in 1990 the SAXONIA AG Metallhütten- und Processingwerke Freiberg emerged.
